Now is the time to prepare for a successful gardening season! Harness nature by collecting natural rainwater in a rain barrel, storing it until needed. This workshop will shed light on the proper way to care for and use a rain barrel, as well as how to make it visually appealing in your yard. Each registered participant will make a rain barrel free of charge and take it home at the end of the workshop. Space is limited; reserve your spot today!

Please register for this event.

Enjoy the harvest season by using all of the goodies from the garden to make easy and delicious soups. We will make and taste a variety of healthy soups using fresh ingredients.
